And Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ________________________________________________________________________________ GENERAL The Company opened its first store in October 1986. Two more stores were opened in 1986 and an additional 12 stores were opened in 1987. The Company continued its expansion program in 1988 and 1989 as part of a strategy to establish itself as a leader in targeted market areas with high concentrations of small- and medium-sized businesses. During 1988, the Company opened 26 stores in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee and Texas, ending the year with 41 stores. During 1989, the Company opened 58 new stores and ended 1989 with 99 stores. During 1990, the Company opened 75 new stores and closed one store ending the year with 173 stores in 27 states. During 1991, the Company opened 57 new stores and closed two stores ending the year with 228 stores. During 1992, the Company achieved its expansion plans by opening 53 new stores and acquiring five stores. The Company also closed two former Club stores, thus ending 1992 with 284 stores in 32 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. During 1993, the Company opened 68 new stores and closed one store, ending the period with 351 stores in 33 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. In April 1991, a subsidiary of the Company merged with and into The Office Club, Inc. ("Club") and Club became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The merger was accounted for in 1991 on a "pooling of interests" basis for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, financial data in 1991, statistical data, financial statements and discussions of financial and other information included for periods prior to the merger have been restated to reflect the financial position and results of operations as if they had merged as of the beginning of operations in 1986. Office Depot, Inc. and The Office Club, Inc. before the merger will be referred to as "Depot" and "Club," respectively. Also, as a result of the merger with Club, the Company incurred merger costs of $8,950,000 in 1991. In 1993, the Company acquired two contract stationers with ten warehouses through the acquisitions of Wilson Stationary and Printing Company ("Wilson") and Eastman Office Products Corporation ("Eastman"), both of which were accounted for as purchases. Subsequent to 1993, the Company also acquired the outstanding stock of six contract stationers with eight warehouses; L. E. Muran Co., Inc. and Yorkship Press, Inc. in February 1994, Midwest Carbon Company and Silver's, Inc. in May 1994, and J. A. Kindel Company and Allstate Office Products, Inc. in August 1994. Each of these 1994 acquisitions was accounted for on a "pooling of interests" basis and, accordingly, the accompanying financial data, statistical data, financial statements and discussions of financial and other information included for periods prior to the acquisitions have been restated to reflect the financial position and results of operations of these companies for all periods presented. With the restatement for the 1994 acquisitions, the Company operated 23 delivery and contract stationer warehouses at the end of 1993. The Company's results are impacted by the costs incurred in connection with its aggressive new store opening schedule. Pre-opening expenses are charged to earnings as incurred. Corporate general and administrative expenses are also incurred in anticipation of store openings. As the Company's store base and sales volume continue to grow, the Company expects that the adverse impact on profitability from new store openings will decrease as expenses incurred prior to store openings continue to represent a declining percentage of total sales. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS 1993, 1992 AND 1991 Sales. Sales increased to $2,836,787,000 in 1993 from $1,962,953,000 in 1992 and $1,497,882,000 in 1991. Sales in 1993 increased 45% from 1992 sales. The increases in sales were due primarily to 67 additional stores and the aquisitions of Eastman and Wilson in 1993 and 56 additional stores in 1992, including the five Canadian stores acquired. The increases also were attributable to same store sales growth. Comparable store sales in 1993 for the 283 stores open for more than one year at December 25, 1993 increased 26% from 1992. Comparable store sales in 1992 for the 226 stores open for more than one year at December 26, 1992 increased 15% from 1991. Comparable store sales in the future may be affected by competition from other stores, the opening of additional stores in existing markets and economic conditions. F-2 8 Office Depot Inc. And Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) ________________________________________________________________________________ Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of sales, 23.0%, was consistent during 1993, 1992 and 1991. Purchasing efficiencies gained through vendor volume discount programs and leveraging occupancy costs through higher average sales per store were offset by somewhat lower gross margins resulting from an increase in sales of lower margin business machines and computers. The Company's management believes that gross profit as a percentage of sales may fluctuate as a result of the expansion of its contract stationer base, the result of competitive pricing in more market areas, increased occupancy costs in certain new markets and in existing markets where the Company desires to add stores and warehouses in particular locations to complete its market plan, and purchasing efficiencies realized as total merchandise purchases increase. Store and Warehouse Operating and Selling Expenses. Store and warehouse operating and selling expenses as a percentage of sales were 14.9% in 1993, 15.4% in 1992 and 16.1% in 1991. Store and warehouse operating and selling expenses, consisting primarily of payroll and advertising expenses, have increased in the aggregate due to the Company's expansion program. While the majority of these expenses vary proportionately with sales, there is a fixed cost component to these expenses that, as sales increase within each store and within a cluster of stores in a given market area, should decrease as a percentage of sales. This benefit may not be fully realized, however, during periods when a large number of new stores are being opened, as new stores typically generate lower sales than the average mature store, resulting in higher store operating and selling expenses as a percentage of sales for new stores. This percentage is also affected when the Company enters large metropolitan market areas where the advertising costs for the full market must be absorbed by the small number of stores initially opened. As additional stores in these large markets are opened, advertising costs, which are substantially a fixed expense for a market area, will be reduced as a percentage of sales. The Company has also continued a strategy of opening stores in existing markets. While increasing the number of stores increases operating results in absolute dollars, this also has the effect of increasing expenses as a percentage of sales since the sales of certain existing stores in the market may initially be adversely affected. During 1992 and 1993, the combination of an increase in average sales per store and an increase in the amount of cooperative advertising support received resulted in a decrease in store and warehouse operating and selling expenses as a percentage of sales as compared to prior periods. Pre-opening Expenses. As a result of continued store openings, pre-opening expenses incurred were $9,073,000 in 1993, $7,453,000 in 1992 and $7,774,000 in 1991. Pre-opening expenses currently are approximately $125,000 per store and are predominantly incurred during a six-week period prior to the store opening. Warehouse pre-opening expenses approximate $100,000, however, these expenses may increase as the Company opens larger warehouses to service the delivery customers. These expenses consist principally of amounts paid for salaries and supplies. Since the Company's policy is to expense these items during the period in which they occur, the amount of pre-opening expenses in each quarter is generally proportional to the number of new stores opened. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 3.4% in 1993 and 3.5% in 1992 and 1991. General and administrative expenses include, among other costs, site selection expenses and store management training expenses, and therefore vary with the number of new store openings. During 1993, the Company has also increased its commitment to improving the efficiency of its systems and significantly increased its information systems programming staff. While this increases general and administrative expenses in current periods, the Company believes the systems investment will provide benefits in the future. These increases have been partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, primarily as a result of the Company's ability to increase sales without a proportionate increase in corporate expenditures. Additionally, general and administrative expenses have historically been higher in the contract stationers' business than the retail stores. During 1992, the increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily attributable to expenses incurred in connection with the newly acquired Canadian operation, expenses related to Hurricane Andrew disaster relief efforts and the beginning of the significant investment in the ongoing program to upgrade the Company's information systems. Other Income and Expenses. During 1993, 1992 and 1991, interest expense was $11,322,000, $2,658,000, and $3,992,000 respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to additional capitalization in 1992 and 1993. In June 1991, the Company received $40,040,000 as a result of a private placement of 6,435,000 shares of its Common Stock to a subsidiary of Carrefour, a French hypermarket retailer. Also in December 1991, the Company completed a public offering of 10,350,000 shares of Common Stock raising net proceeds of approximately $92 million. In December 1992 and November 1993, the Company completed public offerings of zero coupon, convertible, subordinated debt raising net proceeds of approximately $146 million and $185 million, respectively. As the Company has utilized the funds raised in its public offerings to fund its expansion, interest income has fluctuated. Interest income during 1993, 1992, and 1991 was $4,626,000, $1,393,000, and $280,000, respectively. F-3 9 Office Depot Inc. And Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) ________________________________________________________________________________ Net Earnings. The Company recorded amortization of goodwill of $1,617,000 in 1993 and $49,000 in 1992. The increase in 1993 was attributable to goodwill arising from the acquisition of Wilson in May 1993 and Eastman in September 1993. Goodwill in 1994 will be higher than 1993 reflecting a full year of amortization arising from the Wilson and Eastman acquisitions. Earnings before income taxes and extraordinary credit were $115,950,000 in 1993, $70,590,000 in 1992, and $32,032,000 in 1991. In 1991, earnings were negatively affected by merger costs of $8,950,000. The effective income tax rate for 1991 was negatively impacted by certain nondeductible merger costs. The effective income tax rate for 1993 was negatively impacted by the increase in the federal statutory rate and by nondeductible goodwill amortization. Additionally, the effective income tax rate for all years is impacted by the combining of certain acquired companies which had no provision for income taxes because they were organized as S-Corporations (as defined under income tax regulations). Net earnings were $70,832,000 in 1993, $46,641,000 in 1992, and $19,400,000 in 1991. Net earnings for 1992 and 1991 include extraordinary credits from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards of $1,396,000 and $614,000, respectively. The increases in net earnings were attributable to the significant increases in sales without commensurate increases in expenses. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since the Company's inception in March 1986, the Company has relied upon equity capital and convertible debt as the primary source of its funds. Shortly after inception, the Company was capitalized with $250,000 and in 1986 and 1987 private placements of Common Stock and Preferred Stock provided $25,704,000 in net proceeds to the Company. Additional net proceeds of $31,932,000 were raised by the Company in public equity offerings in 1988. Net proceeds of $24,070,000, $11,944,000 and $92,386,000 were raised by the Company in subsequent public equity offerings completed in 1989, 1990 and 1991, respectively. The Company also received proceeds of approximately $41,400,000 and $40,040,000 from private placements of its Common Stock with a subsidiary of Carrefour, completed in July 1989 and June 1991, respectively. The Company completed public offerings of zero coupon, convertible, subordinated debt in 1992 and 1993 raising net proceeds of approximately $146,000,000 and $185,000,000, respectively. In the first half of 1994, the Company registered approximately 10.5 million shares of common stock to be used for acquisitions of which approximately 5.7 million shares has been issued in 1994. Since the Company's store sales are substantially on a cash and carry basis, cash flow generated from operating stores provides a source of liquidity to the Company. Working capital requirements are reduced by vendor credit terms that allow the Company to finance a portion of its inventory. The Company utilizes private label credit card programs administered and financed by financial services companies, which allow the Company to expand store sales without the burden of additional receivables. All credit card receivables sold to the financial service company under one program were sold on a recourse basis. Proceeds to the Company for such receivables sold with recourse were approximately $185,000,000, $138,000,000 and $123,000,000 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The outstanding balance of such receivables at December 25, 1993 was $39,900,000. The Company has also utilized capital equipment financings to fund working capital requirements. Sales made from the contract stationer warehouses are made under regular commercial credit terms where the Company carries its own receivables. This contributed to the increase in receivables in 1993 from 1992. As the Company expands into servicing additional large companies in the contract stationer portion of its business, it is expected that a greater portion of the Company's receivables will be carried. F-4 10 Office Depot Inc. And Subsidiaries MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) ________________________________________________________________________________ The Company added (net of closures) 67 stores in 1993, 56 stores in 1992, and 55 stores in 1991. As stores mature and become more profitable, and as the number of new stores opened in a year becomes a smaller percentage of the existing store base, cash generated from operations will provide a greater portion of funds required for new store inventories and other working capital requirements, therefore, net cash provided (used) in operating activities was $86,226,000, $(10,291,000), and $(39,288,000) for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Cash generated from operations will be affected by an increase in receivables carried without outside financing and increases in inventory at the stores as the Company continues to expand its efforts in computers and business machines. Capital expenditures are also affected by the number of stores and warehouses opened or acquired each year and the increase in computer and other equipment at the corporate office required to support such expansion. Cash utilized for capital expenditures was $104,568,000 in 1993, $62,899,000 in 1992 and $54,778,000 in 1991. The Company opened 71 stores and closed 2 stores in 1994. Management estimates that the Company's cash requirements, exclusive of pre-opening expenses, were approximately $1,200,000 for each additional store. These expenditures include an average of approximately $600,000 for leasehold improvements, fixtures, point-of-sale terminals and other equipment in the stores, as well as approximately $600,000 for the portion of the store inventory that is not financed by vendors. In addition, management estimates that each new store required pre-opening expenses of approximately $125,000. The Company's expansion through 1994 was financed through cash on hand, funds generated from operations, equipment leased under the Company's lease facility and funds borrowed under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company's financing requirements beyond 1994 will be affected by the number of new stores or warehouses opened or acquired. During 1993, the Company's cash balance increased by $7,501,000 and long- and short-term debt increased by $203,945,000 (including $161,318,000 assumed in the acquisitions of Eastman and Wilson of which $145,522,000 was paid off in 1993). This increase in cash and debt was primarily attributable to cash provided and debt incurred in the public debt offering, partially offset by payments for fixed assets and inventories for new stores. Additionally, cash of $136,573,000 was utilized in various transactions associated with the acquisition of Eastman and redemption of outstanding Eastman debt (see Note I to Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company has a credit agreement with its principal bank and a syndicate of commercial banks to provide for a working capital line of $200,000,000. The credit agreement provides that funds borrowed will bear interest, at the Company's option, at either 3/4% over the LIBOR rate or at a base rate linked to the prime rate. The Company must also pay a fee of 1/4% per annum on the available and unused portion of the credit facility. The credit facility currently expires in September 1996. As of December 25, 1993, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility. In addition to the credit facility, the bank has provided a lease facility to the Company under which the bank has agreed to purchase up to $15,000,000 of equipment from the Company and lease such equipment back to the Company. As of December 25, 1993, the Company has utilized approximately $7,711,000 of this lease facility. INFLATION AND SEASONALITY Although the Company cannot accurately determine the precise effects of inflation, it does not believe inflation has a material effect on sales or results of operations. The Company considers its business to be somewhat seasonal with sales generally slightly higher during the first and fourth quarters of each year. F-5 11 Office Depot Inc.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. F-10 16 Office Depot Inc. And Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ______________________________________________________________________________ NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Office Depot, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") operates a chain of high-volume office supply stores and contract stationer/delivery warehouses throughout the country. The Company was incorporated in March 1986 and opened its first store in October 1986. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All common stock share and per share amounts for all periods presented have been adjusted for a three-for-two stock split in June 1993 and a two-for-one stock split in May 1992 effected in the form of stock dividends. Additionally, all common stock share and per share amounts for all periods presented have been adjusted for a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend which occurred subsequent to the year ended December 25, 1993 (See Note L). Certain reclassifications were made to prior year statements to conform to current presentations. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers any highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Receivables Receivables are comprised of trade receivables not financed through outside programs as well as amounts due from vendors under rebate and cooperative advertising programs. Merchandise Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Income Taxes The Company currently provides for Federal and state income taxes currently payable as well as for those deferred because of temporary differences between reporting assets and liabilities for tax purposes and for financial statement purposes using the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the tax effects, based on current tax law, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized in the financial statements. In prior years, the Company had provided for income taxes using the provisions of APB No. 11. Property and Equipment Depreciation and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives on a straight line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements. F-11 17 Office Depot Inc. And Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) _______________________________________________________________________________ Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Accumulated amortization of goodwill was $1,666,000 and $49,000 as of December 25, 1993 and December 26, 1992, respectively. Goodwill will be adjusted for a permanent decline in value, if any, as measured by the recoverability from projected future cash flows from the acquired businesses. Pre-opening Expenses Pre-opening expenses related to new store openings are expensed as incurred. Acquisition of The Office Club, Inc. On April 10, 1991, the Company completed its acquisition of The Office Club, Inc. ("Club"). The merger with Club was accounted for in 1991 on a "pooling of interests" basis for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Financial statements for periods prior to the merger have been restated to reflect the financial position and results of operations of the combined companies as if they had merged as of the beginning of the earliest period reported. Club became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company through the exchange of 38,956,172 shares of the Company's common stock for all of the outstanding stock of Club on a ratio of 1.791 shares of Depot stock for each Club share. References to Office Depot, Inc. and to The Office Club, Inc. before the merger will be referred to as "Depot" and "Club," respectively. Costs of $8,950,000 associated with the merger have been reflected in the results of operations for 1991. Acquisitions of Contract Stationers Subsequent to December 25, 1993, the Company acquired six contract stationer companies. These acquisitions were accounted for on a "pooling of interests" basis for accounting and financial reporting purposes, therefore, the financial statements for the periods prior to the acquisitions have been restated to include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of these companies as if they had been acquired as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. (See Note L) Earnings Per Common and Common Equivalent Shares Net earnings per common equivalent share is based upon the weighted average number of shares and equivalents outstanding during each period. The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding for the years ended December 25, 1993, December 26, 1992 and December 28, 1991 were 147,640,000, 143,263,000 and 125,967,000, respectively. Stock options and warrants are considered common stock equivalents. The zero coupon, convertible, subordinated notes are not a common stock equivalent and are anti-dilutive in the fully diluted computation. Fiscal Year The Company is on a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December. Postretirement Benefits The Company does not currently provide postretirement benefits for its employees. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, recognized and not recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The estimated fair values of financial instruments which are presented herein have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. F-12 18 Office Depot Inc. And Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) ________________________________________________________________________________ Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value: - - the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short term nature; - - discounted cash flows using current interest rates for financial instruments with similar characteristics and maturity were used to determine the fair value of short-term and long-term debt; and, - - market prices were used to determine the fair value of the zero coupon, convertible, subordinated notes. There was no significant difference as of December 25, 1993 in the carrying value and fair market value of financial instruments except for the zero coupon, convertible, subordinated notes which had a carrying value of $350,298,000 and a fair value of $419,750,000.

The Company has a credit agreement with its principal bank and a syndicate of commercial banks to provide for a working capital line of $200,000,000. The agreement provides that funds borrowed will bear interest, at the Company's option, at either 3/4% over the LIBOR rate or at a base rate linked to the prime rate. The Company must also pay a fee of 1/4% per annum on the available F-14 20 Office Depot Inc. And Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) ________________________________________________________________________________ and unused portion of the credit facility. The credit facility currently expires in September 1996. In addition to the credit facility, the bank has provided a lease facility to the Company under which the bank has agreed to purchase up to $15,000,000 of equipment from the Company and lease such equipment back to the Company. As of December 25, 1993, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and had utilized approximately $7,711,000 of the lease facility. The loan agreement contains covenants relating to various financial statement ratios and provides for a limitation on the payment of cash dividends on common stock, not to exceed 25% of net earnings, without the bank's consent.
